Joshua Perry : I have heard this story well over 20 times and it still cracks me up

Dan Slash : He's not lying, he is waaaay too excited about it.

Stephen Tracy : Want to dislike this video.... bc he has a shirt on

ahepperl : A story so crazy you couldn't make it up. Ya know what I think? Throw jokes and booze together with any two very different people....They will find a common language and mutual understanding.

SouloHigh : How do some of you not realize that he is only telling this story because people keep asking him to? He has explained this before, he can't even do a show without telling it because people start chanting for the story, and they will be pissed if he doesn't tell it.

Drunk Savage : Conan is gonna party with the Machine tonight

Jonas of Persia : "The Machine". Coolest nickname ever.

Teemu Laine : Did he meet Oliver Queen?

Craig Young : I have only ever seen three clips of this bloke and they have all been this same story

Metastabillity : Notice this was a 5 minute story here. Now i love Jimmy Falon, But if he was on his show. This would be 2 hours long with Jimmy constantly interrupting him

Jmisc Stuff : Haha the Machine story is great. Bert was just starting to pull back on telling the story so much and then it gets 20 million + Facebook views and he's back at square one. It's got a mind of its own. Lol

Ash bro : Hollyshit I thought this was just a joke it turns out this is actually true story damn.... that's badass

Fernando Candelas : Burnt Chrysler is still sort of fat

Geronimo : I feel like the story is 60% bullshi*t, but still funny af.

Randy Monster : It's weird that that audience was fckin dead. That story was epic and true. This guy is the fckin MACHINE!

Mark Bayman : my name is jeff

Film Fan72 : I effing love Bert Kreischer. I mean, The Machine.

Shady Minion : This story is so awesome, I love how Conan had to walk him through it like he hadn't already heard it.

Shaboi_Mike : I believe it. 90s Russia was a joke, literally. It’s still a corrupt country but it was far more corrupt. Oligarchs and the mafia ran everything. If you wanted a T-80U tank then, you probably could have purchased one, even a Mi-8MTV helicopter gunship with spare rockets and parts. Putin basically eliminated rival oligarchs. They’re becoming America except the government runs the corporations and the corporations give nice kickbacks to the government. Whereas here it’s corporations and lobbyists running the government and government gives kickbacks to the corporations and lobbyists.
